Boeing Co.’s new 777X jetliner took off on its maiden flight Saturday, starting the clock on expected reforms in how regulators approve aircraft for service in the wake of two fatal crashes involving 737 MAX planes.
The twin-aisle 777X is a refresh of a best-selling model that first flew in 1995. It is already behind schedule following technical problems and is due to enter service during a downturn in orders for larger planes that has forced Boeing to trim production rates.
